Is it possible for a HIV vaccine to be made?

HIV, as most of you know, changes all the time, so the white blood cells won't be able to keep creating antibodies to destroy it. Therefore, the immune system is weakened, but might it be possible for such a vaccine to be created?

"It is possible but I think there would have to be more than one vaccine because of the mutations and differences in strains."

If multiple vaccines would be needed for all the mutated versions, why aren't the antibody tests constantly being revised? Wouldn't 'HIV's high mutation rate also affect the proteins used in the various test kits? I find it implausible the vast mutation rate keeps the various 'HIV' drugs from working (virologic failure) such that patients must switch drugs, but the test kits keep using the same old proteins.

Also, assuming there is a virus here to begin with, I also find it funny they even both trying to develop a vaccine when they claim that antibodies don't help against 'HIV' in the first place.

After all, it's upon detection of antibodies that they declare a person infected. They also make all kinds of anthropomorphic characterizations of 'HIV' (it's devious, it can evade, it subverts human genes to shield itself; are some examples) about its ability to keep from being neutralized and controlled by antibodies. And all with 9 genes. It's just all too fantastical to take seriously. What this says is that research needs to take place as to what is really making people sick.

That a vaccine hasn't been produced is yet one more prediction failure of the viral theory of AIDS.

IT is possible, in fact I think they are experimenting with creating a vaccine. I read an article a long time ago about experimentations with an HIV vaccine.

I think so. Although the virus changes often and there are many different types, they all share some of the same characteristics. So hopefully they could come up with a vaccine for all of the types or maybe different vaccines for different strains. Anything would be good!
Even if a vaccine isn't made hopefully some things can be done to stop the spread of HIV and to drastically improve the lives of people who have it.


I mean, you might say, well we've spent so much time and money on it and if it hasn't happened now, it isn't going to happen. However, humans have been around and making tools for oh at least 6000 years (definitely more!) and so many things have only come around in the past 100 years. So I think there will still be so many drastic jumps in technology.

It is possible but I think there would have to be more than one vaccine because of the mutations and differences in strains. HIV hits up receptor cites on cells and infects them- if there was a way to block the receptor cites for a certain amount of time so the HIV could not bind to the cell then I think it would be possible to prevent infection by the virus. However that could cause other problems like horomone transmission to target cells... It wouldnt be a permanent cure, but something you'd have to take more than once and have it work for a small amount of time. Its how allergy medicine works. Unfortunately it's harder to create a block for HIV because of its capacity to mutate and it's small size....

So far, there is no vaccine, and there is no cure.
Currently promising clinial trials are under way, check it out.

In time perhaps, but the virus mutates rapidly
